ManSound. Hymn of Ukraine. /mini-pack/. (State Anthem of Ukraine)
The group ManSound has already assigned to itself the glory of one of the most interesting and professional jazz collectives of Ukraine. Including – among the collectives that perform music a capella. Moreover, cooperation between the group and one of powerful music recording houses has recently begun – it is entirely obvious that jazz is achieving a new stage of development here. And the first result of their cooperation is not quite a usual release. Actually, the name of this single speaks for itself – the national Anthem of Ukraine really sounds here. All the three versions of the Hymn are variations in the range from gospel and soul to swing – and, to tell you the truth, all the tracks sound just cool. Common sense seems to prompt that we should expect for a skeptical attitude to this kind of experiments. But, dear guests, I insist – the disc is a very qualitative, joyful, live present for all admirers of jazz. Moreover, it is an illustration of how creative approach may change set stereotypes in the radical way. Personally I, for example, have always known that the hymn of a country must sound solemnly – and now I know that its solemnity may be really joyful. And with this new knowledge – I'm amused.

Vopli Vidopliassova. Chio Chio San. (single). /digi-pack/.


The new work by VV managed to cause a lot of agitation even before the official release – and that was absolutely deserved. This refers both to the song, and the video for it – Oleg Skrypka and his friends are not afraid of subjecting themselves to creative experiments, that is why the video "Chio Chio San" for many became a real surprise..

Brand new single by VV! Disc includes three new songs, two remakes of the songs of Victor Tsoy and "Kino" group in Ukrainian and great video clip "Zoryana Osin'"

Tartak. Ukrajino, Zabyvaj! (maxi single). /digi-pack/. (Ukraine, Score It!)


The variations differ from each other so much that you have nothing to do but be surprised – this sounds similarly cool with Balkan themes, and with electronic funk, and in other versions. Thus, I think, this disk can interest not only fans of "Tartak" but considerably wider audience as well.

Ruslana. Dyka enerhiya. (single). /slim box/. (Wild Energy)


For some time Ruslana, it seemed, had disappeared somewhere – but it has appeared that she had not. It has been revealed that she just – well, certainly – prepared a new powerful explosion on the plane of the domestic ethnic pop. Well, and now – the first robin, the first powerful explosive bullet – here you are!

Esthetic Education. Leave Us Alone.


From the very beginning these people promised that they would compose a high-quality European music, and to my mind it is exactly the thing they are busy with at the moment. This maxi-single, I think, is another confirmation of this fact.

...Moreover, even classical "Fly of the bumblebee" by Rymskyi-Korsakov and Ukrainian folk song "Shchedryk" found their place there. The latter can be considered as the forerunner of the second album. But it’s not the end yet. Several months ago JazzEx made an arrangement of a song "Vidchynyai" – the work of one of the most noticeable Ukrainian pop-rock groups Druga Rika...

...such names as George Benson, George Gershvin or Steve Wander, as well as their compositions, are well known to everyone.

Мені сподобалось. Як любителю акапельного співу. А те, що така обробка гімну-це нормально! Популяризація, так би мовити, національних символів - то хіба є якісь порушення?...По-моєму, так і має бути...:)

Гимн України у виконанні МanSound мені не сподобався. Фе (((
Тобто не саме виконання, а аранжування - занадто не-гимнове

Слова и музыка Государственного Гимна Украины утверждены Законом Украины " О Гимне", принятым в марте 2003 года. Скажите каким Законом утверждены Ваши вариации Государственного Гимна Украины? В какой еще цивилизованной стране додумались записать на диск вариации на Государственный Гим своей страны? Это прямое надругательство над символикой государства, одним из элементов которой является Государственный Гимн. Одно утешает, у Вас хоть слова соответсвуют тексту Государственного Гимна в отличии от Пономарева, который в своем диске половину слов переврал как и хор им. Г.Веревки, а руководители страны и депутаты им подпевают, положив руку на сердце.
